Up until 1937, the fixed wheel was the only bicycle permitted to be ridden in the Tour de France. This was because of a rule enacted by Henri Desgrange, who was somewhat of a purist. Of course, after 1937 derailleurs were allowed and here we are today. This may be common knowledge, but this photo needed a bit of a backstory. Really awesome shot!

Fissaazione bikes are objects of unique design. They are acurately designed and assembled with the best components, finished and fine-tuned completely by hand in Milano Marittima, Italy. All the Fissaazione bikes are fixed gear only (with the exception of some vintage restoration). Each Fissaazione bike is tested by us for several kilometers before being delivered to the customer, thus avoiding wrong settings and loose bolts. Fissazione bikes can be designed with us for a complete customized and tailor-fit object.

Cycling is good for our health and great for our body. I hope I can inspire you to leave your car at home just a little more often, take your bike to work, school, shopping or just a Sunday ride. We all can embrace a new philosophy of functionality and practically. With passion for design in the whole and in every part of our bike.
